[ levi didn't think of this because he so rarely does nice things for himself, and because of their connections erwin gives levi a bit of a look with a raised eyebrow at erwin being the smart one for doing a nice thing for levi.
he is smart for doing something nice for his husband when his husband wouldn't do anything nice for himself.
he is also a huge hypocrite.
nonetheless, he's smiling and lifts their joined hands to press a kiss to the back of levi's. ]
I got the different types from that blend you like so much.
[ what is this Prince Charming shit? unbelievable.
it's completely believable, actually—maybe he shouldn't even be surprised? of course Erwin is going to do something really thoughtful and romantic for him for no reason, and of course he's gonna stand there weirdly dumbfounded in spite of how incredibly not surprising it is.
Erwin is so much better than him at keeping things like these a secret despite their connection. it's not really fair when one of you is a tactical genius.
he breathes a sigh, but it's not one his characteristic shows of irritation; it's something deeply content, almost dreamy. how the fuck did he end up married to this guy? he takes a step forward to close the distance between them and wrap his arms around Erwin, burying his face in his shoulder. ]
Thank you.
[ there's a lot more he wants to say, but for the moment, this is all he manages to get out. ]
[ it's not surprising, but it's also nice that it feels like levi's never going to think it's annoying or that it's gotten old. levi appreciates everything erwin does, which makes erwin want to do more things for him, and it's an endless positive feedback loop.
when levi leans into him like that both of erwin's arms go around levi's waist, hands settling at his back and trailing fingers along his spine. ]
Of course.
[ he presses a kiss to levi's hair, then rests his cheek atop his head. ]
[ he's pretty sure this is heaven. not that he's ever believed in anything of the sort, but how could his life get any better than this? the bizarre shit sometimes tossed their way by the fox or by other weirdos who live here couldn't possibly overshadow how immensely happy it makes him to be standing here in Erwin's arms in the garden at their home, whether it has tea growing in it or not.
he hums, quiet but deeply content, and he holds Erwin a little closer. ]
I know you would.
[ it actually worries him a little, which makes him a huge hypocrite as well. whoops. ]
[ erwin feels much the same way about it: he's never believed in anything like heaven, but there's very little that erwin would change about their current situation because it is so perfect and makes both of them so happy. what else could they possibly need?
nothing, really. ]
Mm.
[ they're both hypocrites because that's how erwin feels about knowing levi would do the same. but this isn't a moment to worry each other with that.
[ he smiles, and even if Erwin can't see it, he can probably still tell. that's what happens when you're tethered to someone else emotionally, as it turns out.
he knows Erwin isn't just talking about gardening. ]
Me, too.
[ he lifts his head finally, letting Erwin see the smile he had hidden in his shoulder. ]
